Congratulations! That is one wonderful woman.
She looked really exhausted at the end of the campaign.
I hope she gets plenty of beauty sleep, and is tanned, rested, and ready in 2012.
PS: Great pics!
AWESOME!!! Good job!
Go Sarah!!!
Priceless pics!
The only thing that kills my daughter is that she will be 4 months shy of voting age in 2012! (Guess we better move to Ohio - LOL)
same thing in north fulton. bodes well for saxby. looks like martin couldn’t
get young jeezy vote out unless they are waiting to vote this afternoon.
hope not!
I live in a HUGE republican county, Paulding - overwhelmingly GOP. My husband waited around 15 minutes at 7 am. I went at ten. They had only 3 booths - one regular, one handicap, one provisional. There was no wait, but it was a steady stream. The poll worker said it had been steady all morning, usually five people at a time. I say it looks great for Saxby! But I am still praying - one can never have too many prayers!
There was a pretty good line (about a 30 minute wait) but that was for the whole county, only the main office was open. Mostly older folks, but quite a number of middle-aged people like ourselves who obviously had taken time off work to come vote. A fair number were black, I would say maybe a fifth to a quarter, no Hispanics or Asians that I saw.
My husband voted this morning first thing before work. He says there was nobody there when he showed up, 3 people in line when he left. It's a very conservative precinct, a few Martin signs but not many.
I recall that she said in one of her interviews that her husband Todd likes to say that she can sleep when she dies. In that same interview, she said that she typically operates on 4 or 5 hours sleep.
I swear the lady is Wonder Woman (which is perhaps why Linda Carter felt the need to diss her -- fearful of competition?).
Maybe it comes from growing up on fresh fish and game and produce instead of the chemical grocery store junk the rest of us eat.
I often think Sarah Palin is a startling echo of figure from a now distant past -- the frontier woman. Startling because we've forgotten that it was tough courageous women who were willing to cross an uncharted wilderness with kids in tow to settle the American west.
Great “After Action Report.” Thanks.
Martin’s rally with Ludacris drew only “several hundred.”
Apparently Chambliss didn’t think she’d be a drag on his ticket. One commentary I read said that Chambliss was reduced to being the warm up act for his own rally. That was funny. All Gov. Palin has to do over the next few years is stay in the public eye (which shouldn’t be too hard,) read and study a lot, and if changes for a win against obama look good, she’d be the front runner, as of now, anyway. I wish her all the best.
Sober, quiet voters.
Gwinette County Civic Center manager confirmed the crowd estimate above: just under 6,000 at the see-Sarah-run (er, Saxby) rally. Only a few hundred apparently at the downtown Martin rapper-rally.
We all know Wonder Woman wears Sarah Palin pajamas!
(Of course, 30 is looking younger all the time!)
Good Job MOM!!!!
I wish I had known there were other FREEPers there too!!!!
"The Prairie is my Garden", by Harvey Dunn, one of my favorite American artists. I can't find his painting titled "Frontier Woman" on line -- but it's a steely-eyed young woman leaning casually on the handle of a shovel or rake, looking at the far horizon in the Dakotas.
"The cowards never started, and the weak died by the way."
There were quite a few of us I believe. I know of at least 4.
Okay...all FREEPers who were there say “aye” and which one you were at!
Get the Handy Hawaii COLB Kit!
